Summary

Aim

This study aimed to investigate the effect of kangaroo mother care (KMC)versus hammock positioning (HP) on physiological indices and behavioral organization among preterm neonates.

Hypotheses

Preterm neonates who receive KMC exhibit more stable physiological indices and behavioral organization state than those who do not .

Preterm neonates who receive HP exhibit more stable physiological indices and behavioral organization state than those who do not .

Preterm neonates who receive KMC exhibit more stable physiological indices and behavioral organization state than those who receive HP.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Kangaroo Mother Care

the preterm neonate was carefully put naked except for the head and diaper area on the mothers' bare chest with flexed arms and legs as in froglike position, and the head was turned sideways. The researchers wrapped and secured the mother's gown and put a blanket on the neonates' back to ensure neonatal thermal insulation

BEHAVIORAL

Hammock Positioning

After one hour of feeding, the preterm neonate was placed in a supine fetal position in the hammock where the head was supported in a neutral midline position by using rolled towel without neck hyperflexion or hyperextension. Moreover, the spine of the preterm neonate was supported while arms and knees were flexed

BEHAVIORAL

Routine Care of NICU

; encircling the neonate in a fetal position using rolled towel inside the incubator.
